To all whom it may concern Be it known that LWVILLIAM a citizen of the United States of America. residing at Los Angeles, county of Los' Angeles, State of California, have invented a certain new and useful 'Heel-Cutting Apparatus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to heel cutting apparatus; more particularly toimprovements in the heelcutting apparatus which is dis-c closed in my application for patent filed Nov. 28, 1913, Serial No. 803,616.

One object of the invention is to provide novel and improved mechanism for operating and adjusting the transversely movable table.

Further objects of the invention are .to provide mechanism of the nature specified which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, adapted to automatically hold the table in adjusted position, easy and I by turning the cam 17 by means of the han convenient to use, and effective in action.

With the above and other objects and at vantages in view, the invention may be said to consist iii the novel and improved construction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter desoribed and claimed and shown in the' accompanying drawings in which tudinally of and are suitably secured to the,

platform 11 is slidably arranged a table 12 which latter is provided with guide bars '13 extending transversely thereof and having slidably mounted thereon the table 14 which has a cutaway portion 15 on its underside.

J. Nnserrr,

My application above referred to describes in detail suitable means on the table 14 for clamping a shoe, and also suitable means for moving the tables 12 and 14 rearwardly to move the heel of the shoe past the band saw 16 to cut away a part of the heel.

The improved mechanism for moving the table 14' and holding it in adjusted position I will now'be described. That shown in Figs. I 1 to 5 incluslve 1s constructed as follows: A cam 17 1s eccentrically mounted on a pivot 18 and is adapted to bear against the table 14. The pivot 18 is mounted on a shelf .19

which extends into the cutaway portion 15 I and is suitably secured to the table 12. j

handle 20 for turning the cam 17 has one end portion thereof fitted over the pivot 1.8

and disposed in a recess formed in the-upper part of the cam 17. Said handle 20 may be held in position on the cam 17 by means of washer 21 and nut 22 on the pivot 18. A spring 23 attached to the pivot 18 and'to a post 24 on the table 14 is adapted to act to hold the cam 17 from movement when the table 14 has been moved to adjusted position the latter move the table 14 toward the band saw 16 and adjust the table 14 in position so that the desired part of the heel of the shoe may be cut off by operating the table 12 to move the heel past the band saw 16. By the means already described the cam 17 and the table 14 are held from movement when the table 14 has been adjusted in position.

I claim:

In heel cutting apparatus, the combination of a table, a second table slidably mounted on the first table and having a cutaway portion on its underside, a shelf extending into the cutaway portion and secured to the first mentioned table, a pivot on the shelf,"

r sg 1,109,138 I post on the second mentioned table, a spring two subscrihin attached to said pivot and said post, and a handle on the cam for turning said cam to move the second mentioned table, substaI1-' 6 tially gs described,
